The Cannibalrider

Blaekar I Targaryen, First of His Name, His Grace, The King of The Andals, The Rhoynar and The First Men, Lord of The Seven Kingdoms, Lord of Dragonstone, Shield of His People and Protector of The Realm, The Cannibalrider, The Half Faced King. Blaekar is a tall, broad shouldered, clean shaven Valyrian man with pale white skin, short cut silvery white hair and violet eyes. The right side of his face is covered by multiple scars and burns, which earned him the epithet of “The Half Faced”. Casually, he wears a simple black vest with a crimson red undershirt, matching trousers and a pair of boots. On more formal or ceremonial occasions, he wears black and red robes with ruffled cuffs and collar, a long crimson mantle lined with white ermine fur over his shoulders, along with a black Valerian Steel circlet set with square cut rubies on his head and a pair of black gloves, along with the ancestral Targaryen Valerian Steel Sword Blackfyre attached to his side via a swordbelt. During military occasions, he wears grayish black plate armor chased with gold and emblazoned with the three headed Dragon of House Targaryen on the chest, with a shirt of black chainmail underneath. Born in 84 AC as the youngest son of Prince Baelon Targaryen and his sister wife Alyssa, who died shortly after his birth. In 101 AC, his father died of a burst belly, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen then called a Grand Council at Harrenhal to elect a new heir, naturally Blaekar was overpassed due to his young age and so the Council elected his eldest brother Viserys Targaryen, who became Prince of Dragonstone. Blaekar spent his yonder years traveling throughout The Reach, Vale and The Crownlands, spending his time studying and honing his skill with a blade, he would return to King’s Landing for various occasions, including the Tourney of Viserys I Ascension, and the infamous feast of 111 AC where The Greens and Blacks got their name. After the death of King Viserys, the Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower crowned her son Aegon II, King instead of Rhaenyra Targaryen, Viserys’ daughter and dedicated heir. Blaekar would provide Rhaenyra a safe path back to Dragonstone, before then joining The Blacks, despite his disapproval of her marriage to her uncle, the rouge Daemon Targaryen. Blaekar would spend most of The Dance of Dragons advising Rhaenyra and the Black Council on Dragonstone. After the betrayal and brutal death of Rhaenyra and the death of Daemon above The God’s Eye, most of the former Blacks were forced back to King’s Landing. Before The Greens could act, The Wolf of The North Cregan Stark had the false King Aegon poisoned, intending to replace him with the eldest surviving son of Rhaenyra and Daemon, Aegon The Younger. However, Blaekar knew that the boy was well beyond traumatized by his mother’s death, and so gathering support, Blaekar would be named King instead. In late 131 AC, Blaekar was crowned with The Conqueror’s Crown in the Dragonpit before making his way to The Red Keep and climbing up the twisted steps of the Iron Throne and took his seat as the next King of The Andals, The Rhoynar and The First Men. Immediately after his coronation, Blaekar got to work on restoring The Dragon’s presence in Westeros, as The Dance had almost completely wiped them out, almost. Back on Dragonstone, there dwelled a Dragon that the smallfolk called The Cannibal, for it took part in feasting on other Dragons. Seeing no other option, Blaekar rode out to Dragonstone and made great effort to tame the beast, and somehow he succeeded, but not before marring Blaekar’s face with the scars he bears today. Blaekar would continue his efforts to restore The Dragons for another year, seemingly sensing his master’s desire, The Cannibal would take flight towards the east, disappearing for months before returning with a collection of Dragonets. It’s unknown where exactly The Cannibal found the remaining Dragons, and frankly everyone else was too scared to ask. After restoring The Dragons on Westeros, Blaekar focused on defining the line of succession. As he never intended to take a Queen, Blaekar would name his nephew Aegon The Younger his heir as Prince of Dragonstone, while he appointed his second youngest nephew Viserys as Hand of The King. In 135 AC, Blaekar would appoint Sers Edmund Warrick, Dennis Whitfield, Agramore Cobb, and the famous Prince Aemon The Dragonknight, who Blaekar would award Dark Sister, the second Valyrian Steel Sword of House Targaryen. Previously in 133 AC, after the untimely death of Princess Jaehaera Targaryen, Blaekar would orchestrate The Maiden’s Day Ball, which was attended by over twenty eligible noble maidens, Blaekar would encourage Aegon to dance and flirt with the various women to no avail. Eventually, after much awkwardness, Aegon and the court would eventually settle for the hand of Daenaera Velaryon, the whole event would be mockingly remembered as The Maiden’s Day Cattle Show. Blaekar would continue to rule until 157 AC, when he died of consumption later that year. After setting fire to his master’s pyre, The Cannibal would again take flight towards the east, never to be seen again. He was then succeeded by his eldest nephew, who became Aegon III.
